National Console replacement Nuts 6&8 string 3/8 spacings

Post by George Piburn »

Hello from GeorgeBoards

I've gotten a lot of requests for a replacement Nut for a National Steel Guitar Console with a True 3/8 string spacing and pre cut notches.

Here's what we came up with, 6 string 2 1/4" long 9/16" tall and 1/4 wide (Thick) hold down screw holes too. 8 String is 3" long 9/16 tall and 1/4 wide.

I am also making a generic set that are the same dimensions except 1/2 tall, for DIY Projects.

Scope out the photos. Lettuce know whattaca think.

National nuts

Hello George,

A better nut option is welcome for the Nationals.

Also I would probably go for some of the generics as well.

Thank you
